Baddog, I guess you are refering to the previous optimistic fews (hopes) of an early buy-out. I still hope that there may be one coming in the near future, but lately most posters on this board seemed to have changed their view a lot. I think it has to do with the share price performance over the past few months. It has a tendency of taking the wind out of the sails. However, I believe that the fundamentals are still there and if the price of gold gets back up again, the optimism will come back, and if the China contacts are for real, plus when some good drill result releases finally come out, things will look a lot brighter again.

I have just made some addition to my TFSA and intend to hang in for some time yet.

IMO
